Dog Sitting in Sterling

About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I will provide the best care for your fur babies while keeping their same routine. Whether that means plenty of exercise or just cuddling on the couch, I will make sure your loved ones are taken care of. I am very responsive and communicative, and will always keep you updated throughout their day to give you peace of mind. Having two fur babies myself, I know how daunting it can be leaving them. My goal is to give your pet the same level of care and affection they are used to at home. I am a registered nurse and currently working part time, therefore I have free time during the work week. I am available throughout the week during regular work hours. I will care for your pet like one of my own, and make sure they are comfortable and at ease while you are away. I will make sure their routine and schedule will stay the same for continuity. I also prioritize giving frequent updates so you always have peace of mind.

“Ashley has been so good to Dozer. She is his weekly companion for lunch time walks. She is quick to respond and communicates when she has a scheduling conflict. We have enjoyed Dozer's pics for every walk. Thank you Ashley!”

About: I have taken care of small to medium dogs and all cats for several years for neighbors and family which included walks, feeds, and play. I currently work remote full time so my schedule is flexible to take care of your furr baby. I am available all weekends and most weekdays with one day notice. I am very flexible with drop off/pick up times. I’ve had pets my whole life. A goofy black lab named Jake and four cats who ran the house. I love all animals, but I have a soft spot for dogs and cats. I work from home, so your pet will get tons of attention, snuggles, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to stick to their usual potty, feeding, and medication schedule so everything feels familiar and comfortable for them. I just moved to Sterling from Herndon, and I’m less than 10 minutes from Dulles Airport (IAD), super convenient if you’re heading out of town! My house has a yard where your dog can stretch their legs and burn off some energy too. Pickup and drop-off are available within 10 miles for $20 total (round trip). If you’re a bit farther, just message me and I’m happy to see what we can work out!

“We were delighted to find Melinda to care for our sweet English Bulldog. Melinda is reliable and responsive and communicates well! She was wonderful with our older dog, very patient to give her meds and drops. Hope to hire her again! Wonderful experience!”

“Victoria is truly the cat whisperer. I cannot recommend her enough. We needed someone to feed them while we were out and my kitties are always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we come home, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. Our cats are also super shy, but with Victoria they come out to say hi. I also really appreciate is her communication. She consistently sends thoughtful updates and pictures, which always brighten my day and reassure me that they’re doing well.”

About: I have experience training, socializing and exercising large breed dogs and currently own a large German Shepherd. While you're out of the house, I will ensure your pet is safe, loved and in good hands! I am patient, observant and consistent. Behavioral issues? I know how to navigate it! Detailed regimes? I have the time! Specific routines to get your pet to bed or to eat? I get it! While everyone says they love dogs, I mean it more than they do, I'll treat your pet like they're my own. I accommodate all pups and personalities! I currently work in DC (with telework options) and am fully available after 4:30pm Monday - Friday with plenty of flexibility on the weekends. Let me know if/when you are going out of town and I can accommodate your schedule! I have a dog friendly home with a 6ft tall, fully fenced in backyard and a dog-friendly companion (Oakley). I also have toys, training treats, pet sleeping options and crate options (if needed).

About: I have experience raising and training multiple dogs of my own and am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. As a reliable and punctual caregiver, I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently a college student home for the summer so I have full availability during weekends and weekdays and I can accommodate various scheduling needs! When caring for your dog in your home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel as comfortable and secure with someone new. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention while ensuring your pet stays safe and well cared for.

“Elena did a fantastic job as usual with my two cats. They’ve really come to like her visits. She is attentive, plays with the cats, and is highly responsive. She covered a long time with the cats recently!”

“Paige took care of our cat for 2 weeks. We have only great things to say about her. She is a very reliable, responsible, punctual, trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She followed all our instructions and sent us daily updates with pictures. We knew that our cat was in good hands, because she looked very relaxed and comfortable around Paige. We will definitely reach out to Paige again to look after our cat and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Paige!”

About: Hello! My name is Lauryn, and I can't wait to meet your fuzzy friends. I have cared for dogs both personally and professionally since I was 12 years old. I currently live with my rescue pitbull/terrier mix who I love more than anything. I'm comfortable taking dogs for long and varied walks, as well as providing at home enrichment and care. I believe all pets deserve love exactly the way they are, and no friend is too "difficult" to deserve love. I know pet care requires great trust, and I won't take that lightly. Thank you for getting to know a little bit about me, and I hope to get to know more about your pet soon! I am a teacher, so I have lots of summer availability. I can offer daily and nightly house visits, walks and care. I also accept same day bookings. If you select me to help take care of your loved ones in your home, I promise to treat your space and your pet(s) with the same respect I treat my classroom and home. I prioritize cleanliness, organization and attentiveness while in others homes and while caring for their fuzzy friends.

“Cliff was great with our cat. We would definitely book him again in the future! He sent us pictures and our cat seemed very comfortable and happy. Thank you again, Cliff!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 Years old. Since then, I have owned 3 German shepherds and have dog sat, walked and trained before. So I have experience in all aspects! I work about 4-6 hours a day Monday through Saturday so I have majority of the day to walk and play with pups anytime in the late morning through evening! Depending on the home, I can take the pets out on a leash, or play with them in the backyard depending on their energy and how playful they are!

About: I've had the joy of caring for my elderly beagle for several years, and that experience has given me a deep understanding of a dog’s needs—especially when it comes to patience, gentle handling, and attentiveness. From slow strolls to knowing when they need extra comfort, I’ve learned how to support dogs at all stages of life. I bring that same care, calm energy, and reliability to every walk and visit. I’m dog walking on a part time basis, except Tuesdays and Thursdays, but can be available some weekends. I am also local for holidays so can be available. Since I used to have an elderly dog, I am familiar with the different parks and also have a pet friendly rooftop area in my apartment building.

About: Hi! My name is Jordyn and I am 25 years old. I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them! I have had a Husky and Labrador Retriever, a Rottweiller, and I currently have a Goldendoodle that I have cared for since she was a puppy. I used to dog sit/walk for friends and family members, and have multiple years of experience on Rover. Now I hope to help take care of your dog too! I have taken care of many dogs ranging from Papillions to Great Danes. I love interacting with all breeds of dogs. I am available Thursday through Sunday. I would be happy to care for your dog! I work a hybrid schedule and will typically be available Thursday through Sunday to do walks, house sit, or do drop in visits for your pet. I always make sure doors and other entrances are closed and locked upon entry and exit. Your pet will always have food and water according to owner instructions.
